Covalent network solids are composed of atoms covalently bonded together into a three-dimensional network or layers of two-dimensional networks. Due to the strength of the covalent bonds, covalent network solids have high melting points. Three-dimensional network solids (such as diamond or silica) are hard and rigid, whereas two-dimensional network solids (such as graphite) are soft due to the eas
